April 12 - Esther 1
Reflection Questions
1. The Illusion of Worldly Power
- Where in your life are you trusting what looks strong or stable to hold things together?
- When uncertainty rises, what do you instinctively try to control or manage?
- Where might you be relying on appearance, structure, or control instead of trusting God?
- When something begins to feel unstable, what does your reaction reveal about what you believe will actually hold?
2. The Danger of Misplaced Trust
- When your sense of control is threatened, how do you typically respond?
- Where do you see fear, image, or control shaping your decisions more than wisdom?
- How might your reactions be affecting others—even in ways you don’t immediately see?
- What patterns in your life reveal that you are trusting something other than God to hold things together?
3. The Hidden Power of God
- Where in your life does God feel hidden, unclear, or inactive right now?
- How do you typically respond when God’s work is not obvious or immediate?
- What makes it difficult for you to trust that God is at work beneath the surface?
- Are you waiting for clarity before trusting—or learning to trust without seeing?
4. Reorienting Our Trust
- What are you currently trusting to hold your life together?
- What would it look like to trust God in that area instead?
- Where is God inviting you to release control and trust Him more deeply?
- What is one step you can take this week that reflects trust in God rather than trust in what appears strong?
